I would like to thank a few old gassers, Kevin and Laurie Frith and Fred and Bev Minsing for their heart warming hospitality on my quick trip out west. Also old gasser Kim Pyett, who has a very outstanding collection, and Garnet Eastcott who also has an amazing collection. Still on the road, hope to be home on Thursday. Hats off to you guys. Thanks again for buying my globes. Ted

Here are my buys. Will have some more awesome cans coming soon. Special thanks to Olddutchgas for the nice Premier lens(Aaron and Lonnie) Darin Sheffer for the very very nice Leonard can, and bagged1961 for the Oilzum.

Thanks to my buddy Noah for the pair of NOS Marathon Diesel 2 lenses in the original shipping box. I found an address inside saying they were made for Marathon Oil Company, Lafayette, IN and on the outside shipped to Plainfield Oil Co., Plainfield, IN. Noah was great to deal with on these and did a heck of a good packing job as well. Darin

Glad you got em safely!! Will look good with all your other globes! This is what this hobby is about. Helping others. Not the money.

Ted Czerechowicz (TC on Old Gas), sent me a list of globes he had for sale as he wanted to concentrate on just 3 or 4 brands instead of having a Heinz 57 collection of nearly everything! Of course I wanted to buy several, but restrained myself to purchasing this gorgeous Red Indian on a screw base body!Ted also collects Cities Service and has one of the most complete collections of Cities globes around, and because of that, we've gotten to know each other quite well. He has been to my place a couple of times and since he had sold over 20 globes this time, he decided to deliver them all instead of shipping them! Well, it works out to nearly 5000 miles, but he's having a nice time and will be stopping to see several contacts along the way. After crossing the border and stopping in Michigan, he motored right on thru to Devils Lake and finally got here about 1 AM on Saturday night. We stuffed him into the guest bedroom and called it a night. We were up early for a tour of my collection the next morning, and then pulled out my purchase from the big load of globes he had on board. We did a quick inspection and then headed into town for breakfast. We had a long conversation about our lives, gas & oil, Old Gas, and anything else we could think of, and then Ted headed down the road into Montana and then north towards the Calgary area! Its things like this that make this hobby so enjoyable! Great friends, great stuff, and great times sharing the passion we all have for collecting these items from the past! What a great time! Drive safe Ted!
